The look of love on date night @melfischarleston.

The look of love on date night @melfischarleston. I have found my current front runner cocktail in Charleston. Italy has been on my mind and I just can't quit it. Not to mention a new friend is currently there and I am dying at every one of her instagram stories. Until I am back across the pond I will just sip on the bitter grapefruit shakerato at Melfi’s to ease the Italia pain.

I have had some ask what are my favorite places to eat in Charleston. The list is far too long to put in one caption here, but I can say without fail if you love a good burger @littlejackstavern is the best burger you could possibly get. @ferdirestaurant in Paris has always been my dream burger and truthfully I almost went straight to heaven when we first had Little Jacks in Charleston. I had to check for a pulse to make sure the good Lord had not called me up.
•
Mustn't I forget that the design of this little tavern is exquisite and could not be any cuter. Adorned with great art, over melted candles, antiqued wood floors, and the branding details of my dreams.
•
Over the years we always come here on any trip, even if it was a quick turnaround for us. To be 100% honest we have even come more than once on a single trip 🙊. So if all of that is not evidence enough on how good it is, I don't know what more I could say. Try it, and let me know just how much you love it.
•
My order you ask? The Tavern burger with garlic & herb fries paired with an old fashioned coke in a glass bottle.

So many thoughts... reflecting over the last two y

So many thoughts... reflecting over the last two years I have caught myself not living life to its fullest. With so many things up in the air regarding this big move for us, among other life happenings that could get any lady down, I wasn't me. I had been silent on my little "engine that could" blog that I loved doing simply for a creative outlet, I was filled with worrying about "what is next", and forgetting to focus on the good I still had in front of me. All things not recommended!
•
Now that we have had our prayer answered, we are moved, and getting settled in...I can see the other side of things. I can actually now say that I am so thankful for the unanswered prayers over the last two years (Garth said it 1st "some of Gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers"), and being exactly where we are in this moment. I am truly living again, not worried about "what's next" and just breathing it all in, soaking up every ounce of our new home, and living my life. In a way it is a rebirth from two years of hardship and I couldn't be happier being on the other side of things.
•
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"
Jeremiah 29:11
•
With all that being said, if you are in a time of being down, not knowing which way is up, and how you can get there. I can say focusing on Gods word, praying, and having those close that you trust to confide in, make the world of a difference. If you don't have someone to confide in, I am always here with an open ear and an understanding heart.

Photo dump of one of the many fun weekends in Charleston to come.
.
Friday was a day with the pups doing some of our favorite things since this was their first time. Breakfast @vintagecoffeecafe, strolled historic old village, and had a lunch on Shem Creek where my dolphin sighting goal was reached.
.
Saturday was a day for the adults on Sullivan's Island. It would have been Fiona's 13th birthday so being the animal freaks that we are we took her ashes to the beach to let her experience it since I always dreamed of taking her there. We had cocktails at a fave of ours @theobstinatedaughter, spent a few hours on the beach relaxing and running after little sandpipers just to take photos of them, followed by margaritas and an early dinner @mex1coastalcantina. The back of my knees are still recovering from the lack on sunscreen, oops🥴.
.
Sunday was an early morning on the peninsula. Breakfast @callieshotlittlebiscuit, followed by coffee @harkencafe, and spent the rest of the morning strolling the streets looking at all the homes and smelling every ounce of jasmine blooming that I could find. We wrapped up our Sunday with an early dinner and drinks @leonsoystershop.
.
Our first weekend here was one to remember and now I need a nap!

Internally reciting the @juliaamory pareo "how to" wrapping video to make sure I am not walking around with my peach hanging out and about yesterday.
.
I have quietly been stocking up on her pareos for what seems like a few years now yet I haven't been able to go to the beach and enjoy them until now. I can guarantee you that you will catch me and my peach NOT hanging out every weekend on Sullivans Island from here on out 😉.

Taking the pups to our favorite coffee shop is a dream come true. On all of our trips here we would always talk about "the day we lived here and would be able to bring the pups with us"... that time has come and we couldn't feel more blessed about it. @vintagecoffeecafe

Meet Flora!
This little rescue puppy serendipitously found her way to us after losing @thefionapup in April and has stolen our hearts. God could not have brought us a sweeter pup to heal our broken hearts. Her and the Fiona Bug are so much alike it's bananas! She cares for me so sweetly and doesn't leave my side. On top of all the good she also has helped little Fitz turn into a puppy again. He was heartbroken just as much as we were. Hope you like her, because you will be seeing a lot more of her 🥰.

See you next week, beauty. Still in shock that this will be our home (well not this marsh, but you get the idea). 😍

The news is out...this little family is MOVING to

The news is out...this little family is MOVING to Charleston, SC.

This has been a long lived dream and years in the making. With a lot of blood, sweat, and tears mixed in to make it happen. We are over the moon and it is such a weight off of our shoulders to finally say the words out loud, It's been our personal little secret for far too long.

Charleston stole our hearts from one of our very first trips that we took together back in 2012 and have wanted to live there ever since. One day we realized that we only have this one life and we have to live it! So we made the hard decisions, sold my husbands dental practice, and we are trading everything that we know for this new adventure.

There has been so many secret trips there over the last two years and so many unposted photos that I can't wait to share one day.

But for now, follow along on the new adventure as we sell our current home in Baton Rouge, make the transition, and trade our Deep South roots for the East Coast baby! 🤍🤍🤍

Cheers to new adventures with my J!

There are no words that I could put together to make anyone understand the love of our sweet little Fiona. If you knew her, then you know what I mean. When I rescued her at 22 during a very hard time in my life I saved her from a very bad life. She had been beaten, no hair around her neck from being tied and strangled, scared of everyone, yet she instantly ran to me and buried her head in my neck. She was forever mine from that point on. What I hope that she knows is that she actually saved me. Her love, care, and watchful eye over the years saved my life. She got me through the unimaginable times I had and I will forever cherish the last 12 years that we had together for the rest of my life. It will never be the same without my little side kick and know I will see her again one day 🙏🏼.

The only mask that me or my face likes. The wear time of 10 mins was quite possibly the shortest 10 mins of my life and I never wanted it to end. Bravo @thelightsalon. Keep me forever 24!
